High alkalinity of water, is it a problem when growing?
EasyNamestarted grow question 6y ago
Is high alkalinity (cca 240 mg/l) a problem if the ppm is normal (cca 250mg/l)? I know that high alkalinity makes for high pH, but does it do anything else, like will it hurt my plant?
Btw, I used strips to check it, not an actual meter.

If the issue is acidity, then alkaline pH will show in the plant's complete discomfort and a lack of all elements. The plant will be pale and twisted, will suffer from necrosis and dying, and as a result, it will perish! I recommend using a digital pH meter to determine acidity. You'll get tired of struggling with strips. The price for a digital one is ($10), but I recommend calibrating the device every time before mixing the solution! 👌😇👍 Good luck, bro!

It will end up locking out certain nutrient uptake if left unchecked. Just get some pH down. Why take the risk.👊

What causes hydro Ph fluctuations early in the grow?What causes dramatic ph fluctuations in hydro conditions so early in the grow, and how can I mitigate it? I have hard water, so I know that’s part of the issue (I tried to install a RO system recently and failed miserably). Other than frequent testing & additives, what can I do?

Fade in flowering week 8Is that normal, that in week 8 of flower the buds start to get a purple hue???
shouldn't the fade come earlier?
I'm curios, because I'm slowly getting to harvest and I'm wondering and trying to find out when to harvest, checking Trichomes daily.

Thoughts about harvestingHello guys ! This question is about my Purple Queen Auto.
She's a little bit over 8 weeks old now (5 weeks into flowering) and I really don't know when to harvest her.
I know about the trichrome method but I only have my eyes to zoom haha
So, when do you think she will be ready?

I got to harvest in 14 days: in order to have enough time to cure it before leaving home for 2 weeks (safety first: is a period of floods in here, I just can't take the risk). I had a pretty long vegetative stage but I'm gonna finish it at 13 weeks. Am I gonna ruin it it, right?
